New crimpers and associated products from Uniflex
S3 Light
The Uniflex S3 Light hydraulic hose crimper, launched at Hannover Messe 2017 and available in the UK through distributor Abdex, is a single cylinder machine that has no obstructions on the back end of the machine when crimping. It operates at 24v DC making it ideal for mobile vans and its total weight, including power pack, is 110kg. The S3 Light can crimp hoses up to 70mm in diameter, and features a new flush die insert system for master dies.
The S3 Light boasts a 160-tonne crimp force, and is able to crimp up to 1.1/4” 4SP and 2” industrial hoses. The crimper’s non-grease head facilitates accurate and true force during every crimp.
The S3 Light is quality engineered with front master die fixing plate (not ‘swimming’); claimed to offer the best return on investment and longer operational life.
S6 Light
Like the S3 Light, the S6 Light hydraulic hose crimper, introduced at Hannover Messe 2017 and available in the UK through distributor Abdex, is a single cylinder machine that has no obstructions on the back end of the machine when crimping. It operates at 24v DC, ideal for mobile vans, and its total weight, including power pack, is 145kg. The S6 Light has a crimp diameter up to 92mm and features a new flush die insert system for master dies. It has a genuine 200 tonne crimp force and is able to crimp up to 1.1/2” R15 4SP and 3” industrial hoses. The crimper’s non-grease head has been designed for accurate and true crimping force every time. The S6 Light has been quality engineered with front master fixing plate (not ‘swimming’); offering the best return on investment and longer operational life.
HM665
The Uniflex HM665, launched at Hannover Messe 2017 and available in the UK through distributor Abdex, features a very large crimp opening that is able to crimp large assemblies without the need to remove dies. It is able to crimp 12” CAM, ANSI125/150 and ANS300. The HM665 has a genuine 600 tonne crimp force and crimp range of 450mm.
The crimper is a six-cylinder system with integrated hydraulic power pack. This new and unique design gives full force and a stable crimp every time, and reduces the drive to 5.5kW. The HM665 fixed 6 o’clock die, making is easier to crimp down to a fixed position; especially with large assemblies.
The crimper’s non-grease head has been designed for accurate and true crimping force every time, with possibility to crimp by pressure as standard.
The HM665 also features a new C.2 Siemens lean production control, with optional branded and personal step process. The control means users can easily download and upload both crimp data and production information.
